Rope Access - Wood Rot
Do you have a hard-to-reach spot in your home or building that's difficult to reach with ladders or scaffolding? Rope access offers the perfect solution! This technique allows you to carry out wood rot repair and woodworking at heights, on roofs, facades, or in narrow spaces without the need for heavy equipment.
With rope access we can work easily and quickly in locations that are normally difficult to reach, such as:
High facades and roofs
Narrow passages or difficult to access external walls
Monumental buildings where scaffolding is prohibited or not desired
Houseboats and houses next to water
Bridges and high structures
Why choose Rope Access?
No scaffolding or aerial work platforms required: We work with safety harnesses and ropes, meaning no space is required for large scaffolding or vehicle installations.
Cost-saving: Because no scaffolding or aerial work platforms are required, you save on the costs normally charged for such equipment.
Fast and efficient: Rope access techniques ensure we work quickly and without delay, minimizing disruption to you and your surroundings.
Safety first: All our rope access specialists are certified and work according to the highest safety standards.
Reduced environmental impact: No large machines or scaffolding disrupting the garden or other surroundings.
Rope Access is ideal for:
High facades and roofs where wood rot has caused damage
Monumental buildings where the use of scaffolding is prohibited or difficult to implement
Narrow spaces where wooden parts are difficult to access
External walls and balconies that are difficult to reach from the ground
Houseboats and houses next to water that are often difficult to reach due to their location
Bridges, scaffolding and other higher structures where conventional methods are not feasible
